Ron Paul joined the discussion on “Stossel” to explain his “opt-out offer” to the American people, where individuals could choose to opt out and get the government off their backs for the rest of their lives by simply paying 10% of their incomes. Additional topics include criticism and misrepresentation of Ron Paul’s message, the problem of coercion, and various questions from the audience.
If we set all of the “no victim” offenders (like all those locked up for drug possession, prostitution etc.) free then we would have more then enough revenue to keep the real criminals locked up.
10% for constitutionally based services (basic services, countries defense, police, etc..) would be sufficient, especially if they contribute to their own retirements. I would use the extra money saved to expand my business and hire more people.
The churches will take over. Also, RP has stated repeatedly that social security is at the bottom of the list he wants to scrap. Moreover, RP’s policies would be the only ones making sure those SS payments can still be made.
Come on Dr. Paul…how on earth are we supposed to finance our police state, military industrial complex, nanny state socialist empire if we let people opt out of their slavery? …oh. I guess that’s your whole point.
and to beat it all if he takes away ssi and ssdi. how are the handicap going to live? his supporters are not thinking they mite need it down the line. men and women will be begging for food on the side of the road. he comes off with save your own monney. but things come up where you cant. then what . this looks bad. i think if they stop sending money all over keep it here in usa they sould take it and help the programs. in sted of giveing it away

Huh? So if you make minimum wage and work full time that means you make $14,016 a year, so that would mean $1400 in taxes at a flat tax? Then is he saying he would do away with food stamps and Medicaid? So people who make min wage would have less than $5,000 to live off of for the year? That to me makes no sense at all. Health Ins. alone is $200-$300 a mth. If you get rid of Medicaid, Medicare people will just go to the hospital with no insurance, then who picks up the bill?

Formerly called tithing, 10% was the amount people donated to charity and religious organizations.
Best solution for medical care is to let anyone practice medicine without a license. It’s economic fascism to demand someone get a license to offer a service.
Go Ron Paul you Rock! We would be so much healthier and better off and have less health problems if we localized everything with our state. That would lead to healthier people, less cancer and no hospital bills. I’m for it!

Well honestly, the water and air are polluted and semi-toxic so I don’t know why you mention that. Second, he specificly says that this is only for things like national healthcare. You’re still paying the government, which would go towards roads and such
Ha bisnatch. You got banned for being an ignorant troll
Ron Paul makes everything better if you listen.
The people who dislike what he says are those who don’t want a better life, better healthier nation, more freedom, national sovreignty and a more sound U.S. Dollar.
This is fucking stupid. Opt out and it must be enforced that You NEVER:
use a road
use plumbing
use electricity
use an emergency room
use any medical care
be protected by police
be protected by firefighters
be protected by the army, navy, coast guard, air force
eat any food that the FDA approves of
use any furniture, appliances, objects or items that are regulated by the gov. to keep us safe
have your rights enforced by jurisprudence
breath unpolluted air
drink non-toxic water

Lol cutting spending creates more bureaucracy?? Lol geez people… Thank you Ron Paul for your sanity! We have all become crazy apparently
